30. We stress, however, that at a fixed energy and for a given finite basis set, the scattering amplitudes satisfy stationarity principles that lead to either a minimum or a maximum [see, e.g., J.R. Taylor, in Scattering Theory (Wiley, New York, 1972), p. 273]. A minimum principle is guaranteed only when the spectrum of the Hamiltonian has no bound states.
